The large wattle above the beak is characteristic of
this old English breed of pigeon. A good Dragoon will show wattle only on the
upper beak. It carries the blood of the Tumbler and the
Horseman, an extinct English breed. The beak is stout and quite blunt. The head
sits erect on a wedge-shaped body. Common colors are white, blue-bar, dun, red,
yellow and blue check.

Dragoons are excellent parents and rear many young over their
lifetimes.
